you want to delete directories that are full, use the deltree
command or if you're using Windows 2000 or later use the below
example.
rmdir c:\test /s
Windows 2000, Windows XP and later versions of
Windows can use this option with a prompt to permanently
delete the test directory and all subdirectories and files. Adding
the /q switch would suppress the prompt.
